gold raid

In the MUST SEE video analysis below, PM Fund Manager Dave Kranzler reviews the options expiration week that was for gold on the Comex. Predictably, the hits just kept coming. The take down of gold arrived right on time, which Kranzler explains in a unique blow-by-blow format.The thieves are laughing–all the way to the vault.PM fund manager Dave Kranzler’s blow-by-blow video analysis of the latest orchestrated gold take-down is below:

We have well documented the fact that over the past few years, gold and silver are smashed on the FOMC release, with the smash nearly always culminating early Thursday morning. The April FOMC meeting proved no exception, as silver has been smashed to an $18 handle this morning, and gold below $1280.

There was a definite attempt last week by the cartel to dislodge the speculator shorts and cheat the people out of the notion of profiting from their intended plunge in metal prices.
In Silver we did not see much dramatic action.BUT, what is not so dramatic in silver IS dramatic in gold.In gold we saw a reduction in total open interest of almost 35,000 contracts! That is almost 7,000,000 (yes you read it right) 7 MILLION ounces!
Notice the commercials have the lion’s share of open interest reduction, because if we add up the speculators reductions and additions, we see they are not quite a wash but absolutely MASSIVE open interest reductions on the part of the commercials. To what end? Just to drop the gold price a little? I don’t think so.

Our friend Turd Ferguson of TFMetalsReport has released a gold and silver update warning that the worst may be yet to come for the current gold and silver cartel smash. Ferguson states that the odds are at least 25% that gold and silver will still see a spike-low harvesting stops, with silver plummeting to $25, and gold towards $1500:

I’m beginning to sense that the ultimate goal of this entire event is to harvest the stops below $26. IF this happens…and currently I’d put the odds at about 25%…a quick drop to $25ish would be your final bottom. Price would quickly recover back above $26 and this deliberate beatdown would be over…Andgold could very easily suffer the same fate. If The Cartel can engender enough additional spec selling, a veritable cornucopia of sell stops lay waiting for them sub-1530. And you can just imagine the reaction in the media: “GOLD IN BEAR MARKET!!” will be screamed as loudly as possible in the hopes of inspiring even more selling.

The Propagandist in Chief (aka Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke) is scheduled to give a lecture at the University of Michigan’s Gerald School of Public Policy at 4pm EST today on current economic issues and the recovery.

Have your buy orders ready, and prepare to Stack the Smack if the cartel MO of raiding the metals on Bernanke speeches/ FOMC releases continues.

The legendary Jim Sinclair (who called the current bull market before anyone over a decade ago) has long maintained that the bullion banks would make the lions share of the profits in this massive secular bull market, not the average gold investor.

Sinclair has sent an alert to metals investors today, advising that the current massive take-down in the metals is the end-game, and the Great Train robbery is in progress in which the Goldmans of the world will go massively long in gold.Sinclair states that as soon as the bullion banks have grabbed every last available ounce of gold they can lay their hands on, gold will EXPLODE to $3,500.

The legendary Jim Sinclair has responded to distraught gold and silver investors over today’s massive cartel take-down of gold and silver.
Sinclair states that today’s price action reeks of capitulation everywhere, and that This event has been a manufactured market move since $1800, with clearly planned and executed intervention. The gold price take downs during low volume periods internationally is a known price moving only tactic.

Sinclair reminds readers that the hardest part of enduring a bull market is to be right and sit tight, and that the cartel’s manipulation will not change the overall trend: A manufactured market event will not change the trend. Even the most professional can be reduced to sheeple by their emotions.

The manipulation of gold and silver prices by the Western bullion banking cartel is all about the management of the perception of economics. Investors MUST NOT protect themselves from currency debauchery by acquiring hard assets such as gold and silver to preserve their capital. Readers will recall that in November of 2011, the gold price was sent down a vertical mineshaft just moments prior to the announcement that the Swiss were linking the CHF to the Euro, which was intuitively massively bullish for gold.

Another counter-intuitive smash of gold and silver prices is in progress, as gold has been smashed $30 and under $1700 from it’s post QE4 announcement high near $1725, and silver has been smashed $1.15 from $33.92 to $32.77.
